Funny story...

I know my last post was kind of depressing, so I decided to write a happier blog this time! This is a funny story from the last night I worked. Enjoy!

As a nurse, I always introduce myself when I go into a patient's room for the first time. I also like to try to get to know my patient so I will ask questions like are you married, do you have children, and/or do you live here in town. Well, I went into my one patient's room and asked my usual questions and was surprised when my patient asked me what I liked to do for fun. I just told him I enjoy reading, playing on the computer, and hiking. He then told me he enjoys playing pool and asked me if I played pool. I told him that I suck at pool and that I haven 't played in a long time...

(Not realizing my patient was flirting with me)

Next time I went into the room to clear out his IV pump- The patient said "hey I was just wondering if maybe I could get your number and we could hang out sometime?" OMG! See, I don't wear my wedding ring to work because I don't want to ruin my ring or scratch any of my elderly patients that have such fragile skin. I realized I had not mentioned I was married to this patient. Since I never get hit on, my face turned super red and my response was- "Actually, I am happily married. I just got married in June. Thank you though, I am flattered..." His response was- "Oh... sorry" Then there was an awkward silence. LOL! Super funny!

I went home and told my husband... His response was- "I told you- you are hot! But you never believe me!"

Perhaps I should just buy a plain wedding band? LOL!
